Vinyl Drawings and Watercolor Paintings

This 19.7" x 27.6" acrylic, vinylic emulsion and oil pastel painting on paper depicts a green horse next to a brick wall with a man in profile in the foreground looking out and away from the horse.

It seems that archives are the raw material for creating historical narratives, non-linear sources, which are scattered around with no particular order. Every morning once I start the day, I start intaking visual information from my cell phone and laptop, then I go out to the street. Images, images, images, an endless number of images every day. And I don't really get to choose the alternative of not seeing. There is no choice like that. So we experience a loss of meaning.
